Does anyone know what kind of double shootgun old Elmer used? He doesn't look affulent enough for a Winchester 21 so I am thinking maybe a Stevens 311? I am also thinking 16ga. It would be excellent for wabbits. Not that he ever shot one....
Elmer Fudd's Shotgun?

Nope. It came from Acme Shotgun Company. He borrowed it from Wile E. Coyote.

Actually Winchester did make it but it was marketed through the Acme Shotgun Co. Much like the Monty Wards shotgun I just wrote to the forum about that is actually a Stevens.
Elmer's shotgun is in the NRA exhibit of famous movie guns. In fact the curator let me handle it. It's still in good shape.

Is it a tactical model?

Odd. When I asked to see it he wouldn't let me touch it. When he turned away and I tried to sneak it out of the case an anvil fell on my head.

Never put a shotgun barrel down a rabbit hole. Rabbits are known to grab the barrel and tie it in a knot. This will cause the gun to blow up in your face and coat your face with powder.

Best Lounge thread in a long time. Well done.
I tried to get to look at the Fudd Gun last time I was at the NRA Museum. Sadly, Jim Supica had it with the traveling Movie Gun display. Maybe next time. I heard the stock had been cut to fit Fudd's smaller stature.

Elmer cut the stock real short to carry under his coat and called it a "Rippit". He could "rip it out" fast. But when he said it, and he is Elmer fudd after all, it came out "Whippit". That's where the term came from for cut down shotguns as used by Clyde Barrow and Porter Rockwell.

If you notice in the earliest cartoon made by Elmer's predecessor in the cartoon "All This and Rabbit Stew", the style of stock is definitely a style similar to earlier Crescent shotguns. Acme was a special label by Crescent Shotgun Company, which was later sold to Stevens.
A very valuable piece.

I also got to handle Yosemite Sam's matched pair of sixguns. Technically they aren't sixguns because they shoot forever without loading.

Everyone knows to shoot wabbits you need a wemington.
He might not look affluent, but dedicated watchers may remember that he was a "millionaire," and he owned "a mansion and a yacht."
He toted a Purdy.
